well here at last this is eric my water cow goby he is a beast will eat anything and i mean anything the lfs said he would be fine with anything bigger than him well after about 2 hours in the tank he made light work of my 10 inch silver shark, what couldnt fit in him was just left hanging out his mouth, hence why he is now on his own but i think hes great really grumpy looking sod, but still cant find any info on the net whatso ever.

well at the moment i am trying to get him to take some frozen lance fish but he is not happy with that so he is taking goldfish at the moment. just a quickie has anyone ever seen one of these before, as i cant find any info on him anywhere, something else i forgot to add earlier he loves to change colour every few hours.

cheers for that but it dont really tell you alot the fish, i even told the lfs it was Electrus picta but they told me it was not it was oxyletris selheim, so thank you for that and at the moment he is about 7-8 inches

 

[DrOizo]

Thats all I could find so I dumped it on. Sorry I can't find anything else

 

[Doggfather]

thats one beast of a fish!

 

[ozzy47]

no sorry droizo didnt mean to sound ungratefull thanks for that, its just that i cant seem to find any info at all not sure how rare these fish are but the lfs said they have never seen one before and when i seen him down there i just had to have him, and yes he is a beast will eat anything as i have said before, he even managed to give the lfs owner 3 stitches, but i think he is awesome.

doggfather maybe u can help if he is oxyletris selheim the only info i have found is they are native to australia in the freshwater rivers and sought after by anglers so maybe u have heard of him?
